Improve my build

I want to build my first computer and I tried to make a build. I followed a lot of recommendations and I am not sure if my build is ok. I would like to know if you guys can improve it. I want a 500gb SSD or more, and I will buy another hard drive later. My budget is around $900usd (1259 cad) (currently this build is $882). Thank you for your help!

drop the 3600x and go for 3600 theres little gain in performance and cost ratio is not worth it

memory go for 3600mhz if you can

picked 3600 non-x, cheaper and you csn just overclock down the line to achieve the same speeds as a 3600X.

faster ram

cheaper M.2 ssd

more powerful gpu

psu with more wattage.

if you wanted to, you can add a 1tb hdd, for around $58 cad

its faster than sata, and I picked it because its much cheaper than the samsung ssd you picked. theyre overpriced for their speed, but I guess priced that way for their build quality. if you want that ssd, then youll have to pay the premium. this one is completely fine, and for a normal everyday user, you wont even see the difference in speed of a sata vs nvme
